Love Poem: Pieces

Written by: Maureen Peris

Pieces

My heart is bleeding off its safest place,

And conceding the past to a future

That was harmed by a dagger in fate’s space.

As when a fool and fantasy suture,

Mine eyes thought hollow beauty were a suitor,

So failed the test to trust the just Est knight.

My soul believed the solemn silence butcher:

This beast did feast with undivided right.

A hallowed demon took my sight and might,

His hand possessed the blade of shining love;

Which bright as a candle in the noon daylight,

It cut loose the wisdom of love from above.

Now arise thou in treason and bleed him,

To claim again the pieces of my freedom.
